Our heads are spinning (and not just from last night's Lambrusco!) from all of the sweet tip-offs our community can conjure in a single day.

First off, Cuffington give us the low-down on the ultimate magazine shop (it's all about the imports) located in Portland, Oregon. In her words, "Rich's is in PORTLAND, Oregon, USA, people. If you don't live there, no need to hit the panic button, just dust off that rotary phone and give them a jingle. They'll probably be able to ship something to you.". Consider our interest piqued.

Clothes-Pin, meanwhile, posted a few shots of Yumi Kim's most recent offerings. We'd nearly forgotten about the designer after a seriously overpriced sample sale left a bad taste in our mouths. Alas, women do love those silk jewel toned shifts.

Something we love to take a gander at on a Friday morning is an effortless display of skinnies and mocks. Sure, it's no Yves Saint Laurent smoking suit, but it still kind of makes us excited for lazy Fall days when you can drink a cappuccino without being drenched in sweat. This, from Painfully Hip.

And last but not least, Shiny Squirrel clues us in to some toned down contemporary line called Eple and Melk that totally suits our fashion mood as of late. That is these duds are colorless, light as air, brandless visions of chic (right). This blogger is a mind reader.
